Procedure
1)Remove a green leaf from a plant that has been exposed to sunlight for a few hours
2)Half-fill a 250cm3 beaker with water. Heat the water until it boils. Keep the water at boiling point.
3)Use the forceps to place the leaf in the boiling water. Boil for 2 minutes.
4)Turn off the Bunsen Burner. (If you are using a heat source without a naked flame - electric water bath or hot plate - this step is unnecessary.)
5)Place the boiled leaf in a boiling tube containing 90% ethanol.
6)Place the boiling tube in hot water and boil for 10 minutes or until the leaf decolourizes. ( It may be necessary to replace the ethanol)
7)Gently remove the leaf and wash with a fine trickle of cold tap water.
8)Spread the leaf evenly on a white tile.
9)Add a few drops of iodine/potassium iodide solution to the leaf and note any observations.
